Danae Class Light Cruisers

Danae Class. Designed as enlarged 'C' type cruisers to counter rumoured German construction of powerful cruisers that
never materialised. The increase in size was used to provide an extra 6 inch gun and a heavier torpedo armament. The class also had
larger low revolution propellers for greater efficiency.
